Sets like Galaxy Explorer are pulling the rug out from the LEGO reseller market
While sets like Galaxy Explorer and Lion Knights’ Castle celebrate the LEGO Group’s past, they’re bad news for resellers.

Indeed, only last…
LEGO for Adults 10297 Boutique Hotel review
LEGO for Adults 10297 Boutique Hotel has an unenviable challenge: keep a 15-year-old theme feeling fresh, while still recognising everything that’s come before it. Few annual LEGO sets carry the weight of expectation like the modular buildings: year on year, the LEGO Group’s designers must come up with something that both fits with everything that’s…

The latest addition to the LEGO Modular Buildings Collection is full of references to its predecessors, so here’s eight great (and four tenuous) call-backs in 10297 Boutique Hotel. Just like 10255 Assembly Square before it, 2022’s modular building marks an anniversary: a full 15 years since the release of 2007’s 10182 Café Corner, the set…

Author and screenwriter Emma Kennedy explains how she separates building LEGO for her YouTube channel and building for herself. I was asked recently whether I build in my free time, simply for my own enjoyment, or whether I save all my pent-up LEGO-based needs for filming on Relax With Bricks. The short answer is: it’s…
LEGO Ideas 21327 Typewriter is bad news for modular building collectors
Bad news, modular building collectors: the newly-revealed LEGO Ideas 21327 Typewriter won’t solve your Green Grocer woes. When rumoured details of Steve Guinness’s Typewriter first emerged back in May, its reported colour scheme signalled the potential for 10185 Green Grocer – one of the earliest entries in the Modular Buildings Collection, and now among the…
Which LEGO set pulled you out of your dark ages?
Author and screenwriter Emma Kennedy tells the tales of adult LEGO fans who have been pulled out of their dark ages by very specific LEGO sets. There will be many adult LEGO fans, like someone on Who Do You Think You Are discovering a path to an ancient king, who can claim an unbroken chain…
Could LEGO Ideas 21327 Typewriter drive down the price of 10185 Green Grocer?
